Orlando Has a Perfect Holiday Season Planned

Looking to enjoy a vacation during the holiday season?

Orlando is annually ranked as one of the top warm-weather destinations for winter travel.

Theme parks and resorts throughout the area pull out all the stops for the holidays, starting November 9 and running through New Year's Day.

Florida’s tourist hotspot is hosting several new holiday events and attractions for 2017, including the Sunset Seasons Greetings projection light show at Disney's Hollywood Studios; the transformation of Hogwarts into Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando; and events with Santa Claus and Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer at SeaWorld Orlando.

Each theme park is celebrating the holidays in different ways: At Walt Disney World, visitors will enjoy Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, the Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! fireworks spectacular at Disney's Hollywood Studios and a Candlelight Processional at Epcot.
